Obama vs.Obama

Obama vs. Obama

The Kool-Aid people don’t watch Fox News.  They just get their news from the propaganda ministry of the Democrat Party ala the main stream media.  If they did they could have seen an interesting 2006 video of Mr. Obama on the John Stossel program today, 1/26/13.  It showed Mr. Obama before he was president scorching the idea that our national debt has risen from three to eight trillion dollars over the past decade and he’s calling it unconscionable.  In the next breath he’s telling about how that contrasts to the national debt raising to one trillion dollars over 42 presidents and 224 years since our republic was formed.  He’s shown castigating the Bush administration for financing spending programs with borrowed money from China and other nations.    

Now his battle hymn is that it would be irresponsible not to raise the debt ceiling so HIS programs could be financed.  The biggest part of the expenditures he’s talking about are the welfare programs he’s promoting. These programs include such things as unlimited stays on unemployment insurance with no need to look for work; daily doses of contraceptives for Sandra Fluke and her friends; cell phones for people living in impoverished areas of inner cities like the woman in Cleveland that was singing President Obama’s praises for giving her the cell phone and Lord knows whatever other entitlements there are that will create a dependency of people that will be vulnerable for subjugation.  This is not the administration of John Kennedy who encouraged people to be self-reliant and was a great promoter of the capitalist free-market system.  Independent people are the bane of despots that are looking to dominate the populace of a country.  The need is to bring about dependency and keep them on the plantation and use them like puppets controlled by a master puppeteer. 

What does it matter???

Are you kidding Madam Secretary?  You know very well what that question is about that the congressman asked and that it had an element of accusation involved in it.  Were you using the righteous indignation defense as a smoke screen as you responded to the question?  Who but you are more responsible to see that our Foreign Service personnel have proper security?  If we had honest media that paid the same scrutiny to the Democrats that they do the Republicans you’d be roasted alive for not seeing to it that Ambassador Stevens and the navy seals were given the proper security for their protection.  The Ambassador sent several urgent requests to the State Department over a period of many months requesting more protection for the embassy that were totally ignored.  One was as late as 8/16/12 saying that the embassy could not defend against an organized attack.  There was still not a properly organized government in Libya that had a reliable security force formed.  The governing body was still in an unsettled, unstable condition following their recently ended civil war.  If you couldn’t provide Ambassador Chris Stevens the protection he needed you should have gotten him out of there just as the Brits got their personnel out and just as the Red Cross did.  How could you not know that extra vigilance had to be maintained there and everywhere else in the world in view of the fact that September 11^th was approaching?                    

Brilliant Liberals?

This is a post I composed prior to the election that I see I didn’t publish.  There may be information here that is still of some interest:

For as long as I can remember, liberals liked to tout their guy, or gal, as wiser than Solomon.  They did it with Adlai Stevenson in 1956 when he was running against Eisenhower for the presidency.  That was when I was a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat and most likely voted for Stevenson even though I didn’t see the wisdom of unilaterally stopping the testing of nuclear weapons that he advocated (kinda reminds me of the latest drive by President Obama to scrap most of our 5000 nuclear weapons and reduce our stockpile to about 300).  Six years later we were faced with the Cuban Missile crisis.  Fortunately for us, General Eisenhower took over the reins of government in ’56 and “the balance of terror” that the press liked to speak of, had the final result of weighing in our favor.

When Bill Bradley ran for the Senate in New Jersey once again the flag of “Mr. Brilliance” was being waved in our faces.  If SAT scores are any measure of how smart one is, it could be very disheartening to the admirers of Senator Bradley to know that he scored 81 points lower than, as the article on the Internet says, the “slow witted” GW Bush – 485-566.

And now we’re being pelted with how brilliant our Apologizer-in-Chief is, in spite of him very guardedly not letting us see his school records.  That he has a great glowing charismatic personality and a great gift of gab can’t be denied.  He mustn’t get away from the prepared script on the teleprompter though.  When he does that he makes almost as many gaffs as Vice-President Biden.  I can picture him as having a great career in show business once he’s out of the White House.  But as president he’s a disaster. 

Does it not occur to President Obama that there’s a better way to stimulate the research and development of renewal sources of energy than purposely driving the price of gasoline through the roof?  Does he not know the dampener this puts on the overall economy when families have to spend the biggest part of their budget on gasoline and the trucking and transportation industries are saddled with costs that they have to pass off to the consumer?

This country is the richest nation in the world in oil and natural gas.  And if we were to rely on coal alone for many of our needs, except heating our houses, it would take 400 years to deplete our known reserves.  Surely, long before that renewables will serve the nation’s needs.  (Will it be a Republic then? None ever lasted much more than 200 years.)       

The revenue that would be generated with the robust economy that energy independence would give us would not only serve to cure all our financial ills but a certain amount could be dedicated to nothing else but the research and development of the renewables that President Obama is so ardently in favor of.  The smothering national debt that impedes our ability to conduct our foreign affairs properly could be gradually paid off instead of just paying the interest on that debt billions of dollars at a time.
